A fire in Minecraft is useful for setting fire to foliage and trees, if you need to quickly clear a place. You can use a flint to create a fireplace from Hellstone and activate a portal to Hell. Flint is also used to blast TNT. When igniting a fire on a block of earth, the fire is quickly extinguished. Flame has a tensile strength – that is, over time it will end

How to fix flint
Here you can learn how to fix flint in Minecraft, that is, how to restore the strength of flint in Minecraft.
There are 3 ways you can repair flint:
If flint is not enchanted, you can merge 2 flint right in your inventory to get 1, but with a larger amount of durability remaining. If one of the items was enchanted during the merge, the enchantment will disappear after the merge. No experience or additional resources are consumed with this method of repair.
When flint is repaired in the inventory, 5% is added to the total strength.
If flint is enchanted, it is better to repair on the anvil to keep or add enchantments. Repair can be done with a netherite ax, flint with charms or with the appropriate material used in the item’s crafting.
This method of repair consumes experience and additional resources.
Also keep in mind that when using an anvil, its strength is lost. Therefore, it is better to combine flint and an enchanted flint or a book on the anvil at once.
And don’t forget that each new flint mending on the anvil will cost more and more experience. That’s why it’s better to combine enchanted items right away.
When repairing the flint on the anvil, we recommend trying to swap items around, as this may reduce the amount of experience needed to repair it.
To restore the strength of flint, you can cast a ‘Repair’ spell. The item will then automatically regenerate its strength when you gain experience.
It is worth noting that the player will not receive experience that goes towards repairing flint But as soon as the durability reaches the maximum level, experience will be accumulated again by the player.
A book with repairing charms can be made on the enchantment table, fished out with a fishing rod or found in treasure chests, fortresses, mines, etc.
The fastest way to repair flint with the “Repair” spell is to put the item in your left hand and use your right hand to mine, fish, kill mobs or breed animals.
